We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Gina Leingang a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Gina thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

It is part of my purpose to “normalize” energy tools in our everyday lives, I come from the corporate world, climbing the corporate ladder, reaching the prestigious Vice President level, I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister. I had this “normal” life, a life that was filled with success, that was filled with love, but there was this piece missing. Uncovering that missing piece inside myself has led me on this journey of creating my own business- Magic by Design HD. My mission is to help others unlock the magic that is inside of themselves, the magic that makes them unique, the magic that makes them sparkle.

Society has a perception of energy tools, energy healing as “woo woo” or “hippy” but it is truly so much more than that. Energy is everywhere, we are energy, our bodies, the couch that I am sitting on, everything is made of energy. When our energy is blocked, or when we are conditioned against the true essence of who we are, our magic, our light becomes dim. We experience blocks in our lives, we experience disease, which is truly dis-ease in our body which all comes back to the root cause which is an imbalance in our energy.

When we understand our energy types, our emotions, our conditioning we can truly change our lives, embrace the spirit that makes us, US. Beginning with human design, this tool takes the exact data of when you were born- your month, day, year, birth time and birthplace and creates a map of your energy. This map is your blueprint of who you are, from your emotions to your fears to your greatest gifts and purpose. From there we look at energy healing– working with our energy to release stagnant negative emotions and limiting beliefs that are simply untrue from our energy field. These emotions, limiting beliefs are creating blocks in our lives. By releasing them they are helping us connect with our core unique energy.

Human Design & energy tools have made a HUGE impact on not only my life but my family’s life as well. I had the opportunity to bring human design into the corporate world. I was invited to share these gifts with 8 executives on a team. Through this 2-hour session, understanding each other’s energy as well as their own, has helped an already close-knit team become even closer– in this session they learned how some energy types in the group need certain types of questions to really open up, to how emotions affect the environment that each one of them are in. This information is based on your own individual energy and the information they learned can be used in all areas of their lives- work & personal. Your energy does not change based on your environment–learning your unique blueprint is lifechanging.
It is my mission to continue to bring in energy tools mainstream, one person, one corporation, one session at a time. I work with individuals who are on their journey to become their authentic self to corporations and groups who value that their associates balance is an important piece to the culture of their organization. When you have balance within your mind, your body and your soul anything is possible!

Gina, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I am an intuitive energy healer, human design reader and inspirational motivational coach. I am an Arizona native, raised in the small mountain town of Flagstaff, Arizona, currently living in the desert of Phoenix, Arizona. I am a wife, a mom, I have worked for the last 20+ years climbing the corporate ladder. I knew that there was something missing, I could feel it in my core, but I could not figure out what I needed to fill that void. Never would I have guessed that making a list on my 39th birthday would lead me on the path I am on today, to help me truly uncover who I am, and what I am meant to do in this world. I am so excited to share my story with you and to be a part of the journey that you are on!

My mom has taught me from a young age that positive thinking will always get you further than negative thoughts. When I was in my early 20s, she introduced me to the book The Secret. I loved the idea behind it, it was all about manifesting your desires with positive thinking. Having a positive mindset has helped get me though some of the hardest moments, even when life was not easy, it helped me find a way to always see the positive.

Approaching adulthood, I knew there were things I wanted to accomplish. I wanted to be a mom, I wanted to see the world. I wanted to make a difference. I did what my 20-year-old self-envisioned. I got married and became a mom to two wonderful children, I climbed the corporate ladder and became an executive within the hospitality industry which has given me the opportunity to travel. I have found a way to make a difference in everything that I set my mind to. Getting to these places, these milestones have had bumps in the road. My son was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age and my daughter being diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia at the age of 2.

August 2019, I had just turned 39 and I had created a list of things that I wanted to accomplish before I hit the big 4-0. There were all sorts of things on this list, from taking a vitamin every day to getting another tattoo, to reading 20 new books, to visiting a state I have not been to yet, to donating blood, to learning how to meditate, etc. Through this list it kept evolving me on what I would call “my hippiness” I was learning who I truly was and diving in headfirst to this journey we call life.
November 2020, my teenage daughter, and I travel to Baltimore, Maryland where she undergoes her 15th surgery. This journey has brought us to the International Center for Leg Lengthening in Baltimore, as her hip dysplasia has caused a discrepancy in her leg lengths. After this surgery, she and I must live in a hotel for 6 weeks as she goes through recovery and rehabilitation before we are able to come back home to Arizona.

This was a very stressful time for our entire family, my husband and teenage son in Arizona, and us in Maryland living in a hotel room as she is recovering. During this time a dear friend of mine and I sign up for an online goal-setting manifestation class- the thought process was to keep our spirits up as we are in Baltimore. During this class, I was introduced to Human Design and was infatuated with it. In that hotel room with my daughter through human design I learned about how our emotions are designed within our chart, how we can affect others. How in that hotel room I learned that mine and my daughters’ emotions are very different based on our charts, just the knowledge of that piece of information reshaped her physical healing.

I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I was meant to find human design in that hotel room 2,000 miles away from home. Those six weeks were not easy on my daughter or myself, but going back to positive thinking, there is always good that comes from a situation that is not easy. Once we returned to Arizona, I began my Human Design readers certification through Jenna Zoe reader training.

A story very similar to my discovery of human design was also what guided me to energy work. In my journey of 40 things before I was 40, I was using healing modalities as part of my journey. As I was growing and learning I began incorporating energy healing into my parenting. My son has ADHD and his teenage years were not easy as we navigated through the ins and out of high school and ADHD. I have already seen how he has grown with understanding his human design. My thought was, I wondered if energy work could also assist him on his journey. Watching him transform with reiki & energy work sessions I knew that learning these modalities was the next piece of my journey. From there I became certified in Reiki, crystal healing and emotion code. Once I learned that energy blocks that manifest in your life, look like limiting beliefs, blocks- money blocks, creative blocks, etc, even physical ailments can be removed with the help of energy modalities I knew it was my purpose to help energy work become mainstream. I knew the impact of energy work & human design had on me, now I am seeing how it is changing my children’s life for the better. I knew the feeling that I was missing in my core was here. I knew that I wanted to help others in the same way I was able to help myself and my family. That is where Magic by Design HD was born, my vision with creating my business was to help others unlock their magic just as my family was unlocking theirs.

It is my mission to incorporate energy-based well-being into your day-to-day life—helping others unlock the magic that is within them. It completely lights me up to work with others through human design and energy healing to learn about the essence of who you are, who you are meant to be. To help clear the blocks that have manifested in your life, so you can continue the path that you are creating.

There are several ways to work with me:

– Human Design: I have personalized sessions where we dive into the unique magic that you were born with, what makes you, YOU! These sessions can be expanded for groups, families, corporations that want to learn their energy and how their energy intertwines with others. 

– Energy Healing: In this session we chat about a block, feeling etc. that is currently manifesting in your life. We then follow the path of the block to clear negative emotions and limiting beliefs that are creating that feeling of heaviness, then release them as they are not serving your highest good!

– Intuitive Guidance Sessions: These sessions are customized to your specific path, your journey. My recommendation is coming to the session with a question (open ended questions are best) as we work through the path of the question, we consult the oracle card decks for messages from the universe, your spirit guides and angels.

– Oracle Cards Guidance: I have 2023 Themes; monthly and weekly card pulls uniquely for YOU. In this purchase I will intuitively pull a card for you, you will receive the cards message, journal prompts and affirmations supporting the message!

– 1:1 Personalized Program: Unlock YOUR Magic! I am SO excited to be debuting my 8-week program where we journey along your path as we intertwine your human design with energy healing modalities. Through this program you will learn how to best use the magic you were born with, as well as releasing energy that is no longer needed such as limiting beliefs, trapped emotions, generational & ancestral baggage, past lives & more!

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

I think whichever industry you are in, working in integrity is the key to success. Especially with energy healing modalities, I believe it is all about working with integrity as well as education of your clients. As alternative modalities are becoming more established in our world, people have questions; how will this work for me? What happens during a session? What can I expect?

I am a firm believer that my path will cross with each person that I was meant to be a piece of their journey, their path. Whether that individual is trying a session for the 1st time to the individual that is a seasoned pro. It is all about understanding, feeling comfortable, acknowledging that each person is exactly where they need to be on their unique path.
When someone refers me to someone to work with that is one of the biggest compliments that I could receive.

Social media is also a very big piece of getting my brand in the spotlight. As we go back to everything is energy, social media is also energy. We are attracted to certain brands, influencers, companies, if you really look at it, we are attracted to their energy- we like the vibe that they put out. I see this helping my reputation in this emerging industry-when you are on my social media or my website, or reading my blog my intention is that you can feel my energy though it. I am me, one of my gifts (in my human design chart!) is sharing through experience, I do not try to be anybody that I am not- my gift is simply being me. This I feel provides me with the clients that I am aligned to work with. When I see my clients emerging from their shadows, breaking beliefs that have been within their families for generations, embracing the magic that they have inside of them, gives me the purpose to continue doing what I do! I am always a student, there is SO much more to learn, to grow, the more I continue to grow, the more I can help others with their growth.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

I think one of the largest lessons that I have had to learn is releasing control and trusting that my path is unfolding as it exactly should. I am a planner; I like to know the “how”, what I have learned is that in whatever your dream is, I can guarantee that the way you get there is not going to be like the way you planned it in your head.

A couple of examples, I had no clue going through the hardest situation with my daughter’s health, living in a hotel in Baltimore during the pandemic would lead me to uncover my love for human design which lead me to creating Magic by Design HD. Looking back, if we were in our everyday life in Arizona, I probably would not have had the time to sign up for that goal setting class that introduced me to human design.

I never imagined having my own business. Being a business owner was not on my radar. I had a plan to climb my way to the top of the hospitality industry. I had a limiting belief stuck within my energy that told me that someone else always has to pay my paycheck. The piece I love most about my corporate job was mentoring and guiding others, watching others succeed in their dreams. By releasing the how, by releasing the limiting belief that has been in my lineage for generations I have been able to create this business where I get to help others every single day.

Learning this lesson, learning to release the how has helped me personally as well. As my children are growing older and venturing on their own paths, it was so hard for me to support them and also allow them to spread their wings. 2023 is a monumental year for my kids. My son is graduating high school and my daughter is turning 16. Releasing control has strengthened my relationship with them, as it is showing them that I love them unconditionally and I trust them as they embark on their paths (that is not an easy thing for a mom!)
